When Trayvon Martin was shot, many in our country came together to protest and show solidarity for the family.

Why hasn’t this happened for Robert Champion, the drum major who died after being hazed? That too is a tragedy! Why is his death not being protested all over the country? Is it because the color of the perpetrators’ skin? Where is the outrage?

Both are horrible tragedies, why don’t we treat them the same way? The “hoodie” became a symbol for Trayvon. Where is the symbol for Robert?

“The “hoodie” became a symbol for Trayvon. Where is the symbol for Robert?”

Maybe you can get Geraldo Rivera (dubbed Gerendo Revolver years ago by Cheech and Chong) to say something equally as stupid about a drum majors baton as he did about hoodies.

Thanks for your help, Steve, but we need Rivera’s stupidity also.
